<a name="CheeseFileUtil.stability-level"></a><h2>Stability Level</h2>
<acronym title="Unstable interfaces are experimental or transitional. They are typically used to
give outside developers early access to new or rapidly changing technology, or
to provide an interim solution to a problem where a more general solution is
anticipated. No claims are made about either source or binary compatibility from
one minor release to the next.

The Unstable interface level is a warning that these interfaces are  subject to
change without warning and should not be used in unbundled products.

Given such caveats, customer impact need not be a factor when considering
incompatible changes to an Unstable interface in a major or minor release.
Nonetheless, when such changes are introduced, the changes should still be
mentioned in the release notes for the affected release.
